26. A 45-year-old man comes to the physician for a follow-up visit. He has had recurrent ulcer disease for 8 years; his symptoms are currently relieved with antacid therapy. He had one episode of bleeding 1 year ago that required a blood transfusion. He appears pale. His hemoglobin level is 10.6 g/dL, mean corpuscular volume is 78 μm3, and reticulocyte count is 0.8%. Which of the following additional laboratory findings is most likely?
Serum Iron Iron-binding Capacity (TIBC) Saturation of Serum Ferritin
(μg/dL) (μg/dL) (N=250–400) TIBC (%) (ng/mL)
A ) 30 120 25 50
B ) 40 360 11 10
C ) 60 180 33 80
D ) 80 200 40 120
E ) 100 150 67 600
B? What is the difference between TIBC and TIBC saturation? Thanks.

but TIBC should much higher than 360

TIBC is increased when there are more empty places on it for iron binding.
TIB saturations is increased when there is less empty place.

in Fe de the serum iron will be low and TIBC high
In Anemia of chronic dis Fe low and TIBC Low

Is there any simple way can we remember the saturation % and the TIBC...Is it inversely proportional???
